Package: rss2email

As described in #770172, Python doesn't support SSLv3 now, so sending
emails over SMTP fails right before STARTTLS attempt with a confusing
‘could not authenticate with mail server’ error message.
Removing an ‘except’ keyword from email.py helped me to diagnose the
issue:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/r2e", line 5, in <module>

protocol = getattr(_ssl, 'PROTOCOL_{}'.format(protocol_name))
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PROTOCOL_SSLv3'
What needs to be done is (at least) modification to config.py:196 to replace
SSLv3 by TLSv1, or, better,
automatic replacement, probably with a warning, in runtime.
